That's absolutely false and is yet another delusional lie emanating from the mouth of none other than Marjorie Taylor Greene...

Nice try on those fact checkers by claiming it was about the government as well......
"Clinton did not report receiving any campaign donations from the Ukrainian government or Ukrainian nationals during her bid for president in 2016, said Anna Massoglia, the editorial and investigations manager at OpenSecrets, a nonprofit organization that tracks money in politics.
"Such contributions are illegal under federal law,"
"OpenSecrets’ website shows the actual top donations made to Clinton’s campaign, as well as a breakdown of donations by geographic location. The breakdown shows that all the locations are in the U.S."
"In an emailed response to PolitiFact’s inquiry, Greene spokesperson Nick Dyer did not cite any donations that Ukraine’s government or Ukrainian nationals made to Clinton’s campaign."
So, there's no evidence that Ukrainian companies donated anything to Hillary Clinton's campaign. YOU are making that accusation so YOU need to provide evidence of it.

Pence: No Room In GOP For Putin Apologists...

"The comments from Pence are a tacit criticism of Trump and others who have complimented Putin's intelligence and strategy as he directed Russia to invade Ukraine without provocation."
"Trump last week said on a radio show that Putin's decision to unilaterally declare portions of eastern Ukraine as independent republics was "pretty savvy" and "genius." "Putin's recognition of those territories preceded a full-scale invasion of Ukraine."
"Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo earlier this year also referred to Putin as a "talented statesman" with "lots of gifts."
"And Tucker Carlson, an influential Fox News host, questioned why Americans should hate Putin and described Ukraine as a country essentially managed by the U.S. government."

Ya Might Want To Rethink Using Starlink In Ukraine

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"using satellite services can be dangerous in wartime, as evidenced by a history of states using satellite signals to geolocate and target enemies,"
"It may be useful, but for safety's sake you don't want to set it (or really any distinctive emitter) up in Ukraine anywhere close to where you would not want a Russian bomb dropping,"
"Shortly after this story was originally published, Musk also weighed in on Twitter, saying "Important warning: Starlink is the only non-Russian communications system still working in some parts of Ukraine, so probability of being targeted is high. Please use with caution."

"Appalling and reckless ignorance by two US Senators"

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"Republican Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Steve Daines (Mont.) shared photos from U.S lawmakers' virtual meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after they were reportedly asked not to do so due to security concerns."
"Both senators shared photos of Zelensky speaking to Congress on Twitter with captions indicating that they were on the call."
"Multiple aides told NBC News lawmakers present were directed by Ukrainian officials not to share pictures of the president."
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/597018-two-gop-senators-share-photos-from-zoom-call-with-zelensky-despite-requests
So, two sitting US Republican senators take the meeting as an opportunity to do a photo-op for their Trumptoid base who eat it up while Zelenski could get his ass shot off as a result...

$4.17 per Gallon Nationwide

And from an administration that has said it does not want drilling there, makes development too risky.
Aside from the green problem, suppressing prices as much as possible could help the Putin problem.
"Experts say even if these companies start drilling more oil wells today, it could take anywhere from six months to years for that oil to start flowing."
"Looking at ExxonMobil and Chevron’s stock numbers, both companies are doing well. Exxon’s stock comes in at $84 —up nearly $25 over the past year — and Chevron is at just under $159."
"Despite these high prices, reports show that American oil suppliers aren’t eager to ramp up supply but there is a labor and equipment shortage which slows down production."

So, there are a lot of factors here but dropping state and federal taxes for awhile could help immediately and that's step that could and should be taken now.
